Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
The Internet is the global network infrastructure; the World Wide Web is a service that operates over that network. A service that runs on the Internet should not be described as the Internet running on the Web.
HTTP is an application-layer request-response protocol used for communication between web clients, such as browsers, and web servers.
Application
Statement I reverses the relationship: the World Wide Web is a commonly used Internet service, whereas the Internet is not a service on the Web. Therefore Statement I is false.
Statement II correctly describes HTTP as the protocol used by web browsers and web servers to exchange requests and responses over the Internet. Therefore Statement II is true.
Contrast
“Both statements are true” preserves the reversed relationship in Statement I.
“Both statements are false” discards the standard role of HTTP stated in Statement II.
“Statement I is true but Statement II is false” reverses both established assessments.
Cross-check
Reading the relationship as Web over Internet and the communication as browser to server over HTTP gives the truth pair (false, true). Hence the correct response is “Statement I is false but Statement II is true.”
